THE Toyota Supra is back! After months of rumours, leaks and tease pictures, Toyota has finally unveiled the GR Supra Racing Concept at last week’s Geneva International Motor Show.

With the arrival of the GR Supra Racing Concept, fans around the world are now awaiting the release of the all-new Toyota Supra.

We will still have to wait a while though, as the unveiling of the Supra is not expected to take place until 2019, with its debut possibly occurring at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next January.

Toyota's GR brand letters on the Racing Concept car stands for Gazoo Racing, which is part of the company’s motorsport division.

The Gazoo Racing-tuned Supra is just a concept but it does give fans a preview of the production coupe that is being jointly developed with BMW - who are also creating a successor to their Z4 roadster.

Toyota have confirmed that the Racing Concept's front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear wing and bonnet are all made from composite material and the windscreen and side windows are made out of plastic and not glass.

Given that the Racing Concept’s interior has a bucket seat and roll cage, suggests that we might see it on racing track sooner rather than later.

What do we know about the Supra

The Supra is set to be powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine.

It is expected to deliver around 340bhp, fed through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Previous leaked specs suggest the Supra will be able to produce 450 Nm of torque which will allow it to reach 0-62mph in just 3.8 seconds.

It is also believed the Supra will measure 4,380mm long, 1,855mm wide, 1,290mm tall and have a 2,470mm wheelbase - this would make it significantly shorter than the 1993 variant Supra.

It has also been suggested by Best Car, that the Supra will be 14kg lighter than the previous generation.

Unlike the BMW Z4, which will be made available as a convertible, the Supra will be a fixed-roof coupe.
